Have better handwriting

I hate how my notes are always so scribbly. And then sometimes I have trouble making them out later on.

I think I’m going to buy a composition book to write in.

Seems really interesting. Thought others might like it too:

Perhaps it’s for little kids, but I have found websites that let your print out tracing/handwriting practice paper for FREE!

Very fun.

Well, I really should keep up with this. When I went to the bank a teller told me she couldn’t read it. I never had any issues before (I’d also never seen her before) and it was almost 5, so I was kinda mad.

But then when I got back to the office I saw the receipt had the wrong amount on it. I went back to the bank and the teller said that she misinterpreted what I wrote. Sigh. This is why hand writing should be legible sometimes.

...I haven’t received too many complaints about my handwriting from my coworkers. I still have to consciously think about how I write and make an effort to write bigger/use pens that have smaller tips so the ink doesn’t blur and bleed.

...because my job will require me to be able to basically write for the whole day during a very busy time. I told my manager I’d get the pens I was most comfortable with, but I have to remember to write clearly…

...that using a pen with a smaller point (like my favorite, the Pentel RSVP pens) help keep the writing neater. I think less ink flow lends for neater handwriting. (Ie, less ink spilt)

I just basically stopped caring after 4th or 5th grade, when we got the internet. Back in the day when dial-up was considered the coolest thing and AOL was just the bees knees.

That has changed, but my handwriting went down with it. I suppose it’s just a matter of thinking about how I write and what I’m writing to improve it. It’s all a matter of control.

I find that if I think about my writing, then it helps. Then I can work to making it nice and legible.

I bought a couple of books and have tried the exercises, but it’s more of staying on top of it every time I write.
